American PrincesOther People

Theres no question that Other People is a rock record, but American Princes other musical influences  possibly the titular other people  are definitely meant to be heard. The Little Rock, AR quintet worked with Wu-Tang and Peter Bjorn and John producer Chuck Brody on their third release, expanding their horizons beyond the expected rock riffs. But thats not to say that distorted guitars arent present. If theyre what you want to hear, check out "Kid Incinerator, complete with accompanying raspy vocals. And on the other end of the spectrum theres the 80s-inspired "Watch As They Go. David Slades voice sounds just as perfect when its smooth, and the bass-driven song even has some sing-along-worthy backing vocals. Its not often that genres and decades can be mixed to create a cohesive sounding record, but American Princes manage to do it while still retaining Other Peoples roots. They may not be real rock royalty but they can wear their moniker with pride.
